The parent company of the MOTOR OIL Group (the Group) is the entity under the trade name "Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A." (the Company), which is registered in Greece as a public company (Societe Anonyme) according to the provisions of Company Law 2190/1920, with headquarters in Maroussi of Attica, 12ΑIrodou Attikou street, 151 24. The Group operates in the oil sector with its main activities being oil refining and oil products trading.

Major shareholders of the Company are "Petroventure Holdings Limited" and "Doson Investments Company" holding 40 % and 8.1% of the Company shares respectively.

These interim condensed financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.

As at 30 September 2015 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 1,986 and 1,184 respectively (30/9/2014: Group: 2,027 persons, Company: 1,191 persons).

2. Basis of Preparation, Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, 'Interim financial reporting' and should be read in combination with the 2014 annual financial statements.

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The accounting policies adopted in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 except for the following:

New Standards amendments and IFRICs effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2014

IFRS 10, IFRS 12, IAS 27 "Investment Entities" (Amendment)

The amendment provides to 'Investment Entities' (as defined in the standards) an exemption from the consolidation of particular subsidiaries and instead requires that an investment entity measures the investment in each eligible subsidiary at fair value through profit and loss in accordance with IFRS 9 or IAS 39. Further to this the amendment requires additional disclosures about the reasons that the entity is considered an investment entity, details of the entity's unconsolidated subsidiaries and also the nature of the relationship and certain transactions between the investment entity and its subsidiaries. The amendment also requires an investment entity to account for its investment in a relevant subsidiary in the same way in its consolidated and separate financial statements. The standard has been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 32 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Presentation"

The amendment to IAS 32 'Financial Instruments', settles inconsistencies in practice when applying the criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities in IAS 32 'Financial Instruments: Presentation'. The amendment has been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 36 (Amendment) "Impairment of Assets"

Amends IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" in order to reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, to clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement in the case of the recognition or a reversal of an impairment loss if the recoverable amount is based on fair value to disclose the hierarchy level and if the hierarchy level is 2 or 3 to disclose the valuation model and the significant assumptions used. The amendment has been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 39 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement"

Amends IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" so as to clarify that there is no need to discontinue hedge accounting if a hedging derivative is novated, provided certain criteria are met. A novation indicates an event where the original parties to a derivative agree that one or more clearing counterparties replace their original counterparty to become the new counterparty to each of the parties. In order to apply the amendments and continue hedge accounting, novation to a central counterparty (CCP) must happen as a consequence of laws or regulations or the introduction of laws or regulations. The amendment has been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRIC 21 "Levies"

Provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a levy imposed by a government, both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those where the timing and amount of the levy is certain.

The Interpretation identifies the obligating event for the recognition of a liability as the activity that triggers the payment of the levy in accordance with the relevant legislation. It provides the following guidance on recognition of a liability to pay levies: a) The liability is recognized progressively if the obligating event occurs over a period of time & b) If an obligation is triggered on reaching a minimum threshold, the liability is recognized when that minimum threshold is reached. The interpretation has been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements"

IFRS 10 replaces in full the instructions related on control and consolidation, as provided in IAS 27 and SIC 12. The new standard is based on the concept of control as a key factor in deciding whether an entity should be consolidated. The standard provides extensive guidance on the three elements that define the concept of control over an entity, and the different ways in which one entity (investor) can control another entity (investment). It also sets out the principles for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

On June 2012 IFRS 10 was amended in order to provide additional transition relief in, by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period.

Entities early adopting this standard must also adopt the other standards included in the 'suite of five' standards on consolidation, joint arrangements and disclosures: IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements', IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities', IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements' (2011) and IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' (2011). The standard has been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements"

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 'Interests in Joint Ventures'. It requires a party to a joint arrangement to determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and then account for those rights and obligations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement (Joint arrangements are either joint operations or joint ventures). A joint venturer applies the equity method of accounting for its investment in a joint venture in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011). Unlike IAS 31, the use of 'proportionate consolidation' to account for joint ventures is not permitted.

On June 2012 IFRS 11 was amended in order to provide additional transition relief in, by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. Further to this the amendment eliminates the requirement to provide comparative information for periods prior to the immediately preceding period. Entities early adopting this standard must also adopt the other standards included in the 'suite of five' standards on consolidation, joint arrangements and disclosures: IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements', IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities', IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements' (2011) and IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' (2011). The standard has been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities"

IFRS 12 focuses on the necessary disclosures of a financial entity, including significant judgmental and hypothetical decisions, that will allow the readers of the financial statements to evaluate the nature, the risks and the consequences, from a financial point of view, that relate with the participation of the financial entity in subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and non consolidated financial entities.

On June 2012 IFRS 12 was amended in order to provide additional transition relief in, by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. Further to this the amendment eliminates the requirement to provide comparative information for periods prior to the immediately preceding period. A financial entity can adopt some or all of the above disclosures without been obliged to adopt either IFRS 12 in total or the rest of the standards that are included in the "suite of five" standards on consolidation, joint arrangements and disclosures: IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements', IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities', IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements' (2011) and IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' (2011) The standard has been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 27 (Amendment) "Separate Financial Statements (2011)"

This standard was published at the same time with IFRS 10, and in conjunction these two standards will replace IAS 27 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements'. The amended IAS 27 defines the accounting treatment and the necessary disclosures that entity must include when preparing separate financial statements, relating with its participation in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Requirements necessary for consolidated financial statements are now included in IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements'. The Standard requires that when an entity prepares separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are accounted for either at cost, or in accordance with IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' and IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. Entities early adopting this standard must also adopt the other standards included in the 'suite of five' standards on consolidation, joint arrangements and disclosures: IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements', IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities', IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements' (2011) and IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' (2011). The amended standard has been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 28 (Amendment) "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" (2011)

This Standard supersedes IAS 28 'Investments in Associates' and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. The Standard defines 'significant influence' and provides guidance on how the equity method of accounting is to be applied (including exemptions from applying the equity method in some cases). It also prescribes how investments in associates and joint ventures should be tested for impairment. The Group will apply this standard as soon as this will become effective and does not expect to have a material impact

on the financial statements of the Group or the Company. Entities early adopting this standard must also adopt the other standards included in the 'suite of five' standards on consolidation, joint arrangements and disclosures: IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements', IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities', IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements' (2011) and IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' (2011). The amended standard has been endorsed by the European Union.

Amendments to Standards effective for periods beginning on or after July 1st 2014

IAS 19 (Amendment) "Employee Benefits (2011)"

IAS 19 is amended so as to clarify the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. In addition, it permits a practical expedient if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, in that, contributions can but are not required, to be recognised as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which they are due. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

Amendments to standards being part of the annual improvement program of 2013 of the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) 2010 – 2012 Cycle.

The following amendments describe the most important changes brought to the IFRS due to the results of the annual improvement program of the IASB published in December 2013. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the E.U.

IFRS 2 "Share Based Payments"

Amends the definitions of 'vesting condition' and 'market condition' and adds definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition'.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

The amendment requires contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability to be measured at fair value at each reporting date.

IFRS 8 "Operating Segments"

The amendment requires disclosure of the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments. Further to this the amendment clarifies that reconciliations of segment assets to total assets are only required if segment assets are reported regularly to the CODM.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement"

The amendment clarifies that issuing IFRS 13 and amending IFRS 9 and IAS 39 did not remove the ability to measure certain short-term receivables and payables on an undiscounted basis.

IAS 16 and IAS 38 "Property Plant & Equipment" & "Intangible Assets"

These standards are amended so as to clarify that the gross amount of property, plant and equipment is adjusted in a manner consistent with a revaluation of the carrying amount.

IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures"

Clarifies that payments to entities providing key management personnel services are to be disclosed as transactions with related parties.

Amendments to standards being part of the annual improvement program of 2013 of the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) 2011 – 2013 Cycle.

The following amendments describe the most important changes brought to the IFRS due to the results of the annual improvement program of the IASB published in December 2013. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the E.U.

IFRS 1 "First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards"

Clarifies that first time adopters are allowed to apply new IFRSs that are not yet mandatory if the IFRSs permit early application.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

Clarify that IFRS 3 excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement"

Clarify the scope of the portfolio exception in paragraph 52, so that it can be applied to all contracts under the scope of IAS 39 even if the definitions of financial assets and financial liabilities are not met.

IAS 40 "Investment Property"

Clarifies that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and that application of both standards may be required.

New Standards and Amendments to Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2016

IFRS 11 (Amendment) "Joint Arrangements"

Amends IFRS 11 to require an acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business (as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations) ,to apply all of the business combinations accounting principles in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs, except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11 and also disclose the information required by IFRS 3 and other IFRSs for business combinations. The amendments apply both to the initial acquisition of an interest in joint operation, and the acquisition of an additional interest in a joint operation (in the latter case, previously held interests are not remeasured).The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 1 "Presentation OF Financial Statements" (amendment)

Amends IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgement in presenting their financial reports by making the following changes:

clarification that in formation should not be obscured by aggregating or by providing immaterial information, materiality considerations apply to the all parts of the financial statements, and even when a standard requires a specific disclosure, materiality considerations do apply; clarification that the list of line items to be presented in these statements can be disaggregated and aggregated as relevant and additional guidance on subtotals in these statements and clarification that an entity's share of OCI of equity accounted associates and joint ventures should be presented in aggregate as single line items based on whether or not it will subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss; additional examples of possible ways of ordering the notes to clarify that understand ability and comparability should be considered when determining the order of the notes and to demonstrate that the notes need not be presented in the order so far listed in paragraph 114 of IAS 1. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 "Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception" (amendment)

Amends IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) to address issues that have arisen in the context of applying the consolidation exception for investment entities by clarifying the following points: The exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements for an intermediate parent entity is available to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, even if the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value. A subsidiary that provides services related to the parent's investment activities should not be consolidated if the subsidiary itself is an investment entity. When applying the equity method to an associate or a joint venture, a non-investment entity investor in an investment entity may retain the fair value measurement applied by the associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries. An investment entity measuring all of its subsidiaries at fair value provides the disclosures relating to investment entities required by IFRS 12. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 16 "Property Plant & Equipment" and IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" (amendment)

Amends IAS 16 & IAS 38 so as to clarify that a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate for property, plant and equipment. Also the amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that an amortisation method that is based on the revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is inappropriate, which can only be overcome in limited circumstances where the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, or when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. Further to this the amendment adds guidance that expected future reductions in the selling price of an item that was produced using an asset could indicate the expectation of technological or commercial obsolescence of the asset, which, in turn, might reflect a reduction of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements" (amendment)

Amends IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements to permit investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates to be optionally accounted for using the equity method in separate financial statements. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) (amendment)

Amends IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) in order to clarify the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets from an investor to its associate or joint venture. The amendment requires a) full recognition in the investor's financial statements of gains and losses arising on the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations), b) the partial recognition of gains and losses where the assets do not constitute a business, i.e. a gain or loss is recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investors' interests in that associate or joint venture. These requirements apply regardless of the legal form of the transaction, e.g. whether the sale or contribution of assets occurs by an investor transferring shares in a subsidiary that holds the assets (resulting in loss of control of the subsidiary), or by the direct sale of the assets themselves. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Amendments to standards being part of the annual improvement program of 2014 of the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) 2012 – 2014 Cycle.

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to four IFRSs. The improvements have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations"

Adds specific guidance in IFRS 5 for cases in which an entity reclassifies an asset from held for sale to held for distribution or vice versa and cases in which held-for-distribution accounting is discontinued.

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments – Disclosures"

Provides additional guidance to clarify whether a servicing contract is continuing involvement in a transferred asset, and clarification on offsetting disclosures in condensed interim financial statements.

IAS 9 "Financial Instruments"

Clarify that the high quality corporate bonds used in estimating the discount rate for post-employment benefits should be denominated in the same currency as the benefits to be paid.

IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"

Clarifies the meaning of 'elsewhere in the interim report' and requires a cross-reference.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2017

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

IFRS 15 provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps in the model are as follows:

Identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts, recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Guidance is provided on topics such as the point in which revenue is recognised, accounting for variable consideration, costs of fulfilling and obtaining a contract and various related matters. New disclosures about revenue are also introduced. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2018

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

IFRS 9 is the first Phase of the Board's project to replace IAS 39 and deals with: the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment of financial assets, hedge accounting, derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements. The Company cannot currently early adopt IFRS 9 as it has not been endorsed by the EU. Only once approved will the Company decide if IFRS 9 will be adopted prior to 1 January 2018. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Hedge accounting and amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS7 and IAS 39" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

The IASB has published IFRS 9 Hedge Accounting, the third phase of its replacement of IAS 39 which establishes a more principles based approach to hedge accounting and addresses inconsistencies and weaknesses in the current model in IAS 39. The second amendment requires changes in the fair value of an entity's debt attributable to changes in an entity's own credit risk to be recognised in other comprehensive income and the third amendment is the removal of the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

3. Operating Segments

The main part of the Group's activities takes place in Greece, given that all major Group Companies included in the consolidation, have their headquarters in Greece and no branches abroad.

All operational segments fall under one of three distinct activity categories: Refinery's Activities, Sales to Gas Stations and Services.

Segment information is presented in the following table:

24. Management of Financial Risks

The Group's management has assessed the impacts on the management of financial risks that may arise due to the challenges of the general business environment in Greece. In general, as it is further discussed in the management of each financial risk below, the management of the Group does not consider that any negative developments in the Greek economy in connection with the capital controls of the Greek banks may materially affect the normal course of business of the Group and the Company.

a. Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that Group companies will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Group's management monitors the capital structure on a frequent basis. As a part of this monitoring, the management reviews the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group's intention is to balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt. The Group through its 100% subsidiary "Motor Oil Finance plc" that is based in London, issued a bond loan for an amount of EURO 350 million in 2014 through the offering of five year Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and maintains also access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives.

Gearing Ratio

The Group's management reviews the capital structure on a frequent basis. As part of this review, the cost of capital is calculated and the risks associated with each class of capital are assessed.

The gearing ratio as of 30/9/2015 and 31/12/2014 was as follows:

COMPANY
30/09/2015 31/12/2014 30/09/2015 31/12/2014
855,949
(268,075)
702,277 890,781 506,193 587,874
588,951 413,499 495,385 324,861
1.19 2.15 1.02 1.81
1,426,005
(723,728)
GROUP
1,197,988
(307,207)
1,093,995
(587,802)

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury department provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Treasury department reports on a frequent basis to the Group's management that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

c. Market risk

Due to the nature of its activities, the Group is exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (d) below), interest rates (see (e) below) and to the volatility of oil prices mainly due to the obligation to maintain certain level of inventories. The Company, in order to avoid significant fluctuations in the inventories valuation is trying, as a policy, to keep the inventories at the lowest possible levels. Furthermore, any change in the pertaining refinery margin, denominated in USD, affects the Company's gross margin. There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures these risks.

24. Management of Financial Risks (continued)

Considering the conditions in the oil refining and trading sector, as well as the negative economic environment in general, we consider the course of the Group and the Company as satisfactory. Through its recently incorporated Middle East based 100% subsidiary, the Group aims to exploit its endeavours at international level and to further strengthen its already solid exporting orientation. Moreover the instability in the domestic market, in connection with the capital controls, is not expected to create problems to the normal course of business of the Company, which due to its strong exporting orientation generates adequate cash flows to cover the necessary imports of crude oil for the refinery activities. Furthermore crude oil prices are determined in the international markets and are not affected so by any domestic market turbulences.

d. Foreign currency risk

Due to the use of the international Platt's prices in USD for oil purchases/sales, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations may arise for the Company's profit margins. The Company minimises foreign currency risks through physical hedging, mostly by monitoring assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to have borrowings with competitive interest rates and terms. Hence, the operating expenses and cash flows from financing activities are not materially affected by interest rate fluctuations.

f. Credit risk

The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables.

The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well known oil companies. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices. In addition the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 30/09/2015 amounted to Euro 25.4 mil. As far as receivables of the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL A.E.", "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." and "L.P.C. S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide range of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is limited. The Group manages its domestic credit policy in a way to limit accordingly the credit days granted in the local market, in order to minimise any probable domestic credit risk.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and the bank loan facilities granted, when needed. In order to address such risks, the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and cash equivalents and ensures available bank loans facilities in conjunction with the fact that cash and cash equivalents are deposited in well known domestic and foreign banks due also to the very strong exporting orientation of the Company. Moreover the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.

Going Concern

The Group's management considers that the Company and the Group have adequate resources that ensure the smooth continuance of the business of the Company and the Group as a "Going Concern" in the foreseeable future.

25. Events after the Reporting Period

There are no events that could have a material impact on the Group's and Company's financial structure or operations that have occurred since 30/9/2015 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.
